HANNEH BRANCH, OF NORTH SAN JUAN, CALIFORNIA.

COUGH REM EDY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,738, dated. November 21, 1882. Application filed September 18, 1882. (N0 specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

.Be-it known that I, HANNEH BRANCH, of North San Juan, county of Nevada, State of California, have invented a new and useful medical co m pound to be used in cases ot'coughs, colds, asthma, Whooping-cough, and all diseases of the throat and lungs, of which the following is a specification.

My compound consists of the following ingredients, combined in the proportionsst-ated,

viz: commontar, one table-spoonful; pure honey, three table-spoonfuls; yolks of three hens eggs; extract of licorice, dissolved in port-wine,-one table-spoonful; port wine, one half pint.

The manner in which I prepare this compound is as follows: Having first dissolved the licorice in asmall quantity of the best port-Wine, I beat the eggs, tar, and honey together and add one table-spoonful of the dissolved licorice, and then beat all together with a knife until they are thoroughly mingled. 1 then add the half-pint of the best port-wine and beat all together again. This mixture I then bottle and seal. The directions I would urge for its use are these: one tea-spoonful morning, noon, and night, to be taken immediately belore eating. lts effect is to loosen the phlegm, to lubricate and heal the throat-,to strengthen and enrich the blood, 0

and generally to relieve the local parts and tone up the system. l

I am aware that heretofore ground licoriceroot has been saturated with a mixture of tar, glycerine, sugar, and alcohol, and used me- 5 dicinally, and I distinctly disclaim the same.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein-described medical compound for 40 coughs, colds, asthma, and throat and lung afi'ections generally, consisting of tar, honey, egg-yolks, licorice, and port-wine, substan tially in the proportions specified.

In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand. 5
